The 10 Best Home Care Agencies for Seniors in Nassau County, NY for 2025

"I get the help needed inside the house, but I need the aide to drive my parents to some of the doctors' appointments. However, none of the aides can even do that, and they can't even roll her up and down the ramp. They oversold their capabilities in that respect. The cost is comparable with the other providers. They do light cleaning, help with bathing, walk them around, organize cabinets, and do personal grooming, which is the most important thing. They're very good aides. One of the positive things they do is provide services to on a discount for going back and forth to the hospital and the doctor. They also have a good RN case supervisor."

"My husband has dementia and we had Patricia come to the house. She was knowledgeable, compassionate and understanding. She had effective ways to engage him. I found her to be very helpful. My situation at home has changed, but if it changes back I would definitely request Patricia again. Also, it was a pleasure dealing with Right at Home."

"Gentle Hands was very good. The two attendants I had were very caring and good.They were careful, helpful and have a very positive attitude.I had no problems with them at all. They were good with my mom and assisted her with activities of daily living. Doreen could have a lot more of information printed when she came. I had interviewed other agencies and they all had printed materials where you can read what exactly what whey were gonna do and what's expected. It would be easy for me to go through after they leave. I still chose her then because of her personality. I felt confident with her. I think she could give more of a better presentation if she had more material. It would make her more professional that way. "

"I was impressed with the care and attention Carol and Sherry gave me as I looked for in-home care for my Dad. Carol was very helpful in explaining the service they provide, unfortunately they were not able to provide care to us, however; Sherry reached out with a list of other agencies that provided the care that would work best for my family's needs and continued to check in with us during the process. This level of attention and care is very rare when you know there is no benefit to you. Great to know people like them are still around,"

"homecare Brenda brings a spirit of good health into our home.. We will go to the condo gym and Jerry will walk on the treadmill and use light weights. Brenda understands Parkinson's Disease and is patient with Jerry, always giving him encouragement and support. Brenda is a good listener and handles each situation with kindness and respect. Thank you for sending Brenda to us."

"We have used aides from the Forest Hills Home Instead for over five years for my mother. That length of time should tell you upfront how pleased we are. Initially aides were needed for just part of the day. As my mother needed more care as she got older, Beverly worked with us to expand the hours. Now we have four aides who work 12-hour shifts around the clock. We live over 1000 miles away and would not be able to keep Mom in her home as she wants without the wonderful women who take care of her. (We have met all of the current aides during pre-Covid trips to see Mom, as well as communicate with them on the phone, and can honestly say we like each one.) Beverly and her office have worked with us over the years to minimize new people when an aide is sick or going to be on vacation since changes make Mom very anxious. As sometimes happens, if my mother just doesn't like a person, that has also been resolved quickly. If I'm concerned about something, I call or email and Beverly decides with us what action to take. If an aide is concerned about a change in my mother's health, Beverly lets us know. She even called us when the pandemic became bad in NYC to tell us what precautions they were having the aides take. Communication is easy and prompt. I have no reservations about marking five stars."

"I have Companions Plus for my wife. They help her with all activities of daily living such as washing, bathing, and walking her to the kitchen and helping and encouraging her to eat. We have this one aide who's very good and comes promptly. So far we're very happy."

"I chose A Gentle Touch when we needed care for my husband in large part because it is a locally owned family business. In my experience I've found that to be an indicator of quality and accountability in any business, their reviews supported that assumption and our experience validated it. We were very happy with the caregiver they provided, she was always on time and cheerful and made sure he was comfortable and safe. On a day she was not able to come they had a fill-in ready, she was just as good as the first. I get the feeling their employees are quite loyal which must mean they are treated well or they wouldn't stick around, respect is a two way street. There are lots of agencies around that are associated with health care networks or national chains or franchises, I've known people who used them and it was a crap shoot whether they'd even show up much less provide compassionate care. I wouldn't hesitate to call Gentle Touch, they are the gold standard in my opinion"

"Everything worked out well with Elder Home Care. They were very accommodating and the aide was very nice. They brought two aides and mom chose the one she felt most comfortable with. Everything went as planned. We used them for a week and a half, four hours, four days a week. She needed assistance with showering, bringing her meals to her, light housework, some light meal preparation, and supervision to ensure safety. Management was accommodating and things fell into place as we discussed. They followed through well, and the price was reasonable."

"We used Lean On Me Home Care INC for my husband. They were very professional, and caring, and they were also very expedient. So they met the need when I needed it. If you need services right away, if you need someone professional, that's caring, and provides the services you need, that's the care service for you. They were local, so it wasn't far away for them to travel to get here, which was very helpful and they were always here on time."

"We hired Fairfield Family Care and they came in for hourly services and one week of in-home care. They assisted with cooking, cleaning, they helped with my dad and whatever else they needed to help with. The caregivers were pretty good and very friendly. They looked into my parents needs and helped out in any way they could, like laundry, taking my dad back and forth to his medical appointments, helping with late-night cooking, and chores."
